The «Panagiotis Katsouris» tournament has been held every year since 2009, in memory of our late former player, who lost his life in a car accident on February 9, 1998 at the age of just 21.

The tournament will be held on April 26 and 27 at the LOLAS sports center in Souroti, and age groups between Under-13 and Under-15 will take part. And, in addition to the PAOK teams, professional teams from elsewhere in Greece and Europe, as well as high-level academies, will participate. Bochum, Partizan, Exeter, Vitesse, Slovan Bratislava, and Ludogorets, among others, will travel to Thessaloniki.

The tournament will feature 16 teams in each age category, who will compete against each other in group games and knock out games in the final phase. In the groups, the teams are ranked by strength and will compete in 25 matches. In the second phase, a new division will be made according to the scores and they will follow either the golden or the silver path.
